Wait or Delay? / Delay or Wait?
Just an ordinary question. Would you rather prefer or is there a better performance boost for using either delay or wait?
print("Yay")
wait(10)
print("Done")
or
print("Yay")
delay(10,function()
print("Done")
end)

I use wait(), never used delay and never plan on it alphawolvess 1784 — 8y

Delay is better, for special reasons, imagine a gun, if you use Wait() near the Blast line, it stops the whole script, but if you use delay, its much better. AIphanium 124 — 6y

Not as far as I know, but:
Wait() stops the entire script for that time.
Delay() doesn't stop the script, it keeps going, even if x amount of seconds isn't up.

What delay will do is put the function into a thread and have it run simultaneous to any other code that is beyond the delay function. Example: delay(5,function() print'hello' end) print'world' will result in world hello in the output with hello being delayed. M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y
